Wicked Appetite ReviewHere We Go Again:
Tell me what series I'm talking about:
28 year old underemployed woman (who graduated in the 93rd percentile of her college class) with a penchant for attracting dirt, grime, easy cheese goo and olive oil. Prefers to wear jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes.
Spunky semi-narcissistic sidekick with big dreams but little desire to do the work to achieve them. Constantly searches for shortcuts and can't follow directions or a recipe to save her life. Incapable of showing up to work on time. Over the top wacky.
Monkey with a middle finger which he uses at least 3 times a chapter. If you're looking for a good drinking game, try a good shot of bourbon every time Carl the Monkey flips a naughty bird.
Eating. Lots of it. Cupcakes and meat pies and muffins and ..... well you get the idea.
Explosions - In this case, a house. Farts.
Adults with admitted attraction for each other who fondle, lots of ear kissing, ponytail tugging, warmth in the nether regions, snuggling in bed at night but nothing beyond that.
My problem is this, Wicked Appetite isn't necessarily a terribly awful book although the humor does cross the line into annoyingly silly on more than one occasion. It is however a book of gags that I've already read from this author numerous times and chances are you have also. I've read it so many times that my reaction to reading it again hovers right between irritated and annoyed. Its like hearing your 4 year old niece repeat the line to a knock knock joke for the 74th time ("Orange Ya Glad I didn't Say Banana?") No. No. No. Not funny anymore, somebody SAVE ME!!!!
The last thing I need is yet another series for me to buy every summer wondering if this will finally be the book where something different happens. Thankfully, I have absolutely no emotional investment in these characters and no reason to become invested because I already know where this series is going. The rest of this series will be .... Pretty much .... The exact same book again.
I think it is time for a new Queen of Summer Chick Lit to be crowned. Hopefully St. Martin's press is out there looking hard for her. The Queen is dead, Long Live the Queen.Wicked Appetite Overview

Bliss (Bliss Bakery) ReviewI often grab a middler's novel from the children's section of the library just for the fun of reading it. I can read it quickly and it doesn't tax my brain with multiple sub-plots to keep track of. A good novel for the eight to twelve year olds has a good plot, believable characters, and is just plain fun. "Bliss" by Kathryn Littlewood meets my qualifications.
The story centers around Rosemary (Rose) Bliss and her siblings, Parsley (Leigh), Thyme (Ty), and Sage, as they tend to the family bakery for a week while their parents leave town on an emergency. The bakery is known for magical delights that have curing powers. When Aunt Lily shows up unexpectedly and the children decide to experiment with some of the recipes in the family's Cookery Book, the results aren't quite as they expected.
Although Rose and her brothers and sister are part of a magical family, they are as ordinary as can be. Any twelve-year-old girl will relate to Rose and her feelings of inadequacies -- all girls go through that phase. Baby Leigh is about preschool age and very typical. The boys, Ty and Sage, well, their mischievous brothers. Rose is bothered by Aunt Lily's sudden appearance and doesn't quite know what to do about her.
The Bliss children's capers with the recipes from the Cookery book are chaotic and delightful. They have only a few days to undue the calamities before their parents return home. Aunt Lily isn't really all that much help.
I also look for books for my middler granddaughters that don't focus on romance. There are far too many for that age group. I want them to have fun reading. Again "Bliss" fills that need for me. As I'm on the lookout, Ms. Littlewood's books will be at the top of my list.Bliss (Bliss Bakery) Overview
Rosemary Bliss's family has a secret. It's the Bliss Cookery Booke—an ancient, leather-bound volume of enchanted recipes like Stone Sleep Snickerdoodles and Singing Gingersnaps. Rose and her siblings are supposed to keep the Cookery Booke under lock and whisk-shaped key while their parents are out of town, but then a mysterious stranger shows up. "Aunt" Lily rides a motorcycle, wears purple sequins, and whips up exotic (but delicious) dishes for dinner. Soon boring, nonmagical recipes feel like life before Aunt Lily—a lot less fun.

So Rose and her siblings experi-ment with just a couple of recipes from the forbidden Cookery Booke.

A few Love Muffins and a few dozen Cookies of Truth couldn't cause too much trouble . . . could they?

Kathryn Littlewood's culinary caper blends rich emotional flavor with truly magical wit, yielding one heaping portion of hilarious family adventure.
